Consequently, the portfolio committee had an emergency meeting this morning, at which the Minister of Communications and the remaining board members were present. Though the report of the committee will be published in tonight's Announcements, Tablings and Committee reports, for the information of all members, the House must know that the committee has agreed that it is necessary, as a matter of urgency, to recommend to the President of the Republic, as the appointing authority, that the board be dissolved and an interim board be appointed. The committee has consequently also recommended five candidates for appointment to the interim board, two of whom the President must designate as chairperson and deputy chairperson. As this is the last general plenary before the Assembly, and thus the committee enters a recess period, the committee has requested that the consideration of these recommendations be placed before the House this afternoon - which is what I'm doing. It has also requested an opportunity for the chairperson to provide the House with a summary of the committee's deliberations and for parties to be allowed an opportunity for declarations of vote.
